LUG History

The LUG's origins are shrouded in mystery. We can probably ask slack and get proper details, but until then, here's what we know:

Linux was first published to the world on October 5, 1991, so that's an absolute lower bound on our founding date.

tux.org has our founding date as November of 1994. According to this page, only 5 LUG's were around before us (DCLUG, DULUG, NOVALUG, BLU, and GNHLUG), and most of those only beat us to existence by a matter of months.
